If these are April showers then we should look like a florist's shop by May!

So, our fairweather friends, it's not looking too great for the coming week. Cloudy, damp and cool for the first part of the week. We know you don't want to hear it, heck, we don't want to say it. We're going to blame it on global warming - everyone else does and it gets us off the hook. And on the bright side it seems to be improving as we get closer to the weekend.

Okay, here goes...

Monday 23rd - mostly cloudy with scattered showers during the day and a chance of thunderstorms at night. High of a sweatshirt requiring 80F and low of 71F.

Tuesday 24th - same again, but we get all the way up to 82F for a high. Low still 71F.

Wednesday 25th - yawn! Different day, same weather outlook! But that high keeps creeping up - today we should reach 83F and a low of 72F. Might even break a sweat!

Thursday 26th - just read Wednesday again. But we gain another 2F on the daytime high. At 85F we might even consider taking off the sweater!

Friday 27th - bet you never thought you'd find yourself cheering for a forecast of only a 30% chance of scattered showers, but you are aren't you? Probably even see some significant sun today if the gods of tropical weather are on our side! High of 86F and low of 73F.

Okay, so maybe you are going to have to use some self tanner to convince everyone you really were on a tropical vacation. Have a great week anyway and, fingers crossed, the unpredictable tropical weather make a lie out of everything above.
